Product details
Overview
SMAJ4750E3/TR13 from SM Semiconductor is a 27 V, 5% tolerance Zener diode transient voltage suppressor in SMA (DO-214AC) package, rated for 2.0 W steady-state power dissipation, 68 mA maximum regulator current at 100°C, and 170 A peak surge current; used for overvoltage protection of I/O lines and power rails in industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SMAJ4750E3/TR13 datasheet, SMAJ4750E3/TR13 pinout, SMAJ4750E3/TR13 application, or SMAJ4750E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include breakdown voltage tolerance, thermal resistance (25°C/W), reverse leakage at rated voltage (5 µA @ 20.6 V), surge current capability, and ROHS-compliant matte-tin plating for reliable solderability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a silicon planar Zener diode optimized for transient suppression, with a sharp breakdown knee verified by dual-point Zener impedance measurement at 10% IZT AC superposition. Its 27 V nominal breakdown is specified at 9.5 mA test current with 35 Ω dynamic impedance.
Designed for unidirectional clamping, it features cathode-band polarity marking, void-free UL94V-0 epoxy encapsulation, and thermal performance validated under steady-state junction-to-lead conditions (RθJL = 25°C/W).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5365B | Same 27 V nominal, but DO-41 package (axial lead); higher RθJA (65°C/W vs 25°C/W) | Limited to lower-power through-hole designs; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Prefer SMAJ4750E3/TR13 for space-constrained PCBs requiring superior thermal coupling |

Compared with 1N5365B and SZ1SMA4750HE3-TP, SMAJ4750E3/TR13 offers optimal thermal performance in SMT form factor, while SZ1SMA4750HE3-TP provides seamless second-source compatibility, and 1N5365B suits legacy axial-leaded assemblies where board real estate is not constrained.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of SMAJ4750E3/TR13?
SMAJ4750E3/TR13 has a ±5% Zener voltage tolerance, meaning its breakdown voltage is guaranteed between 25.65 V and 28.35 V at 9.5 mA test current. This tighter tolerance than standard 10% parts allows more precise overvoltage threshold setting in safety-critical 24 V systems. The 'A' suffix in the full family designation confirms this 5% grade, and the value is validated per Table 1 in the official SM Semiconductor datasheet.
How does SMAJ4750E3/TR13 differ from SMAJ4750A?
SMAJ4750E3/TR13 and SMAJ4750A share identical electrical specifications and SMA package, but SMAJ4750E3/TR13 denotes tape-and-reel packaging (TR13 = 13-inch reel) with RoHS compliance and matte-tin plating per MIL-STD-750 Method 2026. SMAJ4750A may refer to bulk or alternate packaging without guaranteed RoHS status. Both function identically in circuit, but SMAJ4750E3/TR13 is optimized for automated SMT assembly.
What is the maximum allowable reverse voltage (VR) for SMAJ4750E3/TR13 before significant leakage occurs?
The maximum reverse voltage VR for SMAJ4750E3/TR13 is 20.6 V, at which point reverse leakage current is guaranteed ≤5 µA. This value is derived from the 77% rule (0.77 × 27 V) and appears in Table 1 as the rated voltage for IR testing. Operating above 20.6 V risks exponential leakage rise and potential thermal runaway, so design margins must keep steady-state reverse bias strictly below this limit.
Can SMAJ4750E3/TR13 be used in bidirectional transient suppression?
No, SMAJ4750E3/TR13 is a unidirectional Zener diode intended only for single-polarity clamping. It conducts in reverse breakdown above 27 V but blocks only up to ~1.2 V in forward bias. For bidirectional protection (e.g., data lines), a pair of SMAJ4750E3/TR13 devices in series opposition or a dedicated bidirectional TVS like SMBJ26CA would be required. Using SMAJ4750E3/TR13 alone on AC-coupled signals risks forward conduction damage.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-lead (RθJL) for SMAJ4750E3/TR13, and why does it matter?
SMAJ4750E3/TR13 has a specified RθJL of 25°C/W, measured from die junction to soldered lead termination. This low value enables efficient heat transfer directly into PCB copper, allowing sustained 2.0 W operation without external heatsinking-critical for compact industrial modules. Higher RθJA values (e.g., 65°C/W for DO-41 parts) would require derating above 70°C ambient, whereas SMAJ4750E3/TR13 maintains full rating up to 100°C case temperature.
